The seven star mountain

Irene hiking to Qixing Mountain (七星山), Taipei, Taiwan, August 2018

原來台北有庭這麼大,這麼高,和這麼美麗的七星山。希望可以再來,而且下次一定要多多點後備菲林。

當天天陰,清涼,間中有毛毛細雨。

I didn't know Taipei has such a big and tall and beautiful Qixing Mountain. I hope I could revisit it. Next time, I have to bring more spare films.

On that day, it was overcast and cool, sometimes drizzled.

Qixing literally means seven stars.
Selfie!
第三日,一大清早搭車到陽明山車站。跟住有位伯伯見到迷失的我們,便帶了我們走一段路。 / On the third day, we took the train and bus to get to Yangmingshan bus terminal. After we arrived, we were so confused for the direction. Then, a kind old uncle leaded us the way for a while. 再來一張!/ One more selfie! 與他道別後,我們便在這裏等乘前往小油坑的公車。/ After saying goodbye to him, we waited here for the bus to Xiaoyoukeng (which literally means small oil pit).搭車沿路都見到火山噴孔。/ On the bus, we saw volcanic orifice along the way. 下車了,要開始行。忘記了是在那個站下車。/ After getting off the bus (forgot the name of the station), we officially started our hike. 當天天氣預報陰天有雨,還可能有雷,其實我有點怕。/ On the day, the weather forecast said it may rain and even thunder so I was a bit scared. 夢幻湖生態保護區。非常小,但很健康。/ Menghuan Pond Ecological Conservation Area. Very small but looks very healthy. 繼續上山。/ Continue our way up.美麗的塔。/ A beautiful tower.因為怕有雷,本來計劃是上了這座塔便回程。但在這座塔時,見到有一團穿橙色衫的人上山,我們便臨時決定跑去跟他們尾行山。/ Because of fear of thunderstorm, we planned to leave after getting up to this tower. When we were up on this tower, we  saw a group of people wearing orange t-shirt moving upwards so we decided to follow them to continue our hike.另一個角度看塔。/ From another angle.美麗的草和樹。/ Beautiful grass and trees.美麗的昆蟲們。/ Beautiful insects.塔越來越遠。/ Further away. 塔變得很小了。/ The tower looked very tiny from here. 發現另外兩座塔。/ Spotted 2 more towers. 上到山頂了。坐下來吃了個飯團。/ On top of the mountain. We sitted down and ate onigiri. 登山團的人。/ One of the hiking group people.
更多的登山團人。就是橙色的他們令我們有膽繼續上山。/ More hiking group people. They are the people in orange t-shirts who made me have guts to continue.
實物更美麗。/ Looked more beautiful in reality.下山了,菲林快用盡。/ On the way down, the film was running low.
之後菲林用完了。/ Running out of film.

無法為小油坑見到的美麗火山噴孔影相。遺憾。但上到七星山很有成功感。
A shame that I could make photos of the volcanic orifice at Xiaoyoukeng. But it's still very fullfilling to get on top of Qixing mountain.
